  The Shroud of Turin

  ROME - A Vatican researcher claims she has found a nearly invisible text on the Shroud of Turin and says the discovery proves the authenticity of the artifact revered as Jesus' burial cloth.

  The claim made in a new book by historian Barbara Frale drew immediate skepticism from some scientists, who maintain the shroud is a medieval forgery.

  Frale, a researcher at the Vatican archives, says the faint writing emerged through computer analysis of photos of the shroud, which is not normally accessible for study.

  Frale says the jumble of Greek, Latin and Aramaic includes the words "Jesus Nazarene" and mentions he was sentenced to death. She believes the text was written on a document by a clerk to identify the body and the ink then seeped into the cloth.

  Is the Shroud of Turin..Real or Fake?

  Even if it was Jesus's burial cloth does it really matter, does it prove that he was a living omni-god, the son of god so to speak....hardly

  I believe there was a Jesus of Nazareth, whether he was all what the writers of the bible say he did and was, is quite something else.

  Outlaw, my scepticism comes from the look of the dead person. Jesus was 30 something when he died not 90, and I'm sure he must have been extremely handsome, based on description of Angels etc. I don't think god would of sent down a decrepit old creature.

  He also must have been extremely strong to carry his torture stake through the streets of Jerusalem after being tortured.

  Feeding off of Restrangled point about the age of this man, I wonder why is it when an image of god is supposed

  that he always appears to be very old..........ummmm?

  Must be that old and wise fatherly image that god is suppose to have.

  Its been talked about too about how old this individual looks on the Turin,

  the process of how the image had imprinted itself on the cloth may be responsible.
